Sample Art Resume

It is a common belief that artists do not need a resume. The fact is they do. Most artists have two versions of their resume - one in brief and one in detail. Achievements are the most important part of an artist resume. Therefore, examples of their work in their field of literature, music, painting, drama, singing or architecture and the like, should be prioritized in the resume. Formal training is important to sharpen the natural skill the artist is born with and will form the main part of the resume in the absence of experience.
